These hacks, such as Pokémon Red 151, Pokémon Emerald 386 and Pokémon BlazeBlack/VoltWhite are designed to make available all Pokémon, items and locations within the game, including [[event Pokémon]], [[version-exclusive Pokémon]], Pokémon only obtainable through [[trade|trading]]/migrating, Event Locations and Event Items. They are also known as 151, 386 or 649 hacks, depending on the base game's [[Generation]]. These will often not deviate too far from the official game story, and are often used in [[Nuzlocke Challenge|Nuzlocke]] runs and, more notably, for several episodes of [[Twitch Plays Pokémon]].

"Pokémon Naranja" is a {{wp|Spanish}} hack of {{game3|Ruby and Sapphire|Pokémon Ruby|s}} in which the {{player}} plays as either {{Ash}} or [[Misty]] and travels around the [[Orange Archipelago]]. Naranja is a Spanish word which means "{{tt|orange|in reference to the fruit, not the colour}}". {{p|Celebi}} appears as this game's [[version mascot]]. This game is based on the [[S02|Orange Saga]] in the {{pkmn|anime}}. The game starts after the player had won the [[Indigo League]]. Despite this fact, the player starts with only a Lv. 5 {{p|Pikachu}}. Many characters, plots and events in the Orange Saga are included in the game, such as the [[GS Ball]], Ash's {{AP|Lapras}}, the [[Orange Crew]], the [[Crystal Onix]], the {{p|Golduck}} from ''[[EP091|Bye Bye Psyduck]]'', and [[Ash's Snorlax]]. This game is particularly well-polished and features a completely overhauled graphical system, and well as many hours of playtime.  Other anime-based hacks include the popular Pokémon AshGray, a FireRed-based game depicting Ash's journey through the [[Kanto]] region in the [[original series]].

"Pokémon TPP Version" is a hack created for the [[Twitch Plays Pokémon#Season 2|Season 2]] opening episode of [[Twitch Plays Pokémon]]. It is based on the Pokémon Red 151 dex hack and was developed by user pigdevil2010 with EliteAnax17 and the channel's streamer. It is a much tougher version of [[Pokémon Red]], with significant [[level]] increases across all battles. All Pokémon, including [[Version-exclusive Pokémon|version-exclusive]] and {{DL|Methods of evolution|Evolution via trading|trade evolutions}}, are obtainable as well as catchable (all 151 are available in the wild). The hack includes additional challenges and features, such as [[legendary Pokémon]] respawns, [[Gym Leader]] and [[Elite Four]] rematches with higher-level teams and Level 100 event battles with [[Professor Oak]] and the original {{ga|Red}} from the first Twitch Plays Pokémon episode. It also includes the Battle Tent, a [[Battle Tower]]-like facility intended for players to earn money post-game.

This hack is notable as it is the first to ever be specifically designed for live broadcast, as well as the first to be designed for Twitch Plays Pokémon's unique play style. For example, {{p|Mew}}'s Cave (a post-game bonus dungeon located in the area of the [[S.S. Anne]]) is not too difficult to navigate with a single player, but with hundreds controlling the game at once, it becomes challenging. The game took 39 days to complete and was played by thousands of people over that time. The patch was only made available after the game was completed by the community.  It is also one of the very few hacks that have been released on a physical cartridge with the hackers permission as part of a community-led project.
